Ben Rosenfeld | 5 comments Hey dark humor fiends,

I just wanted to let you know that you can get the Kindle version of my book "Russian Optimism: Dark Nursery Rhymes To Cheer You Right Up" for FREE through June 8th if you have Amazon Prime or Kindle Unlimited.

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Russian-Optimis...

Russian Optimism: Dark Nursery Rhymes To Cheer You Right Up is an illustrated coffee table book of thirty of Russia's most horrifically hysterical nursery rhymes translated for an English speaking audience. Each rhyme is 2-4 lines, with an innocent title and a horrible ending. Each rhyme is accompanied by a brightly colored yet twisted illustration of the scenario described to add humor. Each two-page layout has the illustration on one side, and the title of the rhyme, the English text, the Russian text and the Russian transliteration (using English letters) on the other. For example, The Woods: "A little boy found a machine gun. Nothing lives in the woods anymore." The rhymes are grouped in seven ironically titled chapters: Moral Messages, Parenting Pointers, Classic Cooking, Aquatic Adventures, Close Calls, Cheery Children and Explosive Endings.

Jason (jasondenness) | 110 comments I've read this now, very good read, and definitely comes under the heading of dark humour.

Please do so. I missed the offer as well and licked my chops on the example you posted.

And the pdf link: https://app.box.com/s/urecyr25vdq3tfb...

I've made it downloadable until July 10th.

This is only intended for members of this reading group, so please don't repost to other places on the internet.

If you could write a review on Goodreads and Amazon once you're done, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben


David Gustafson | 10 comments Thanks, Ben! Will do.


David Gustafson | 10 comments Reading it now. I love it!!! I will get back to it later this evening PST as I have to hit the Bellagio poker tables in a little while. From what I have seen already, I promise to post a very enthusiastic review at both Goodreads and Amazon.

My best,
David


Jason (jasondenness) | 110 comments I've left reviews, recommended it for those with families, nice colourful pictures. Not trying to get you sued of course. hehe


David Gustafson | 10 comments The poker tables had to wait. Just posted my reviews.


Jason (jasondenness) | 110 comments Nice review....I see we both liked the machine gun one then.

I must have identified with that one because I spent most of my Michigan boyhood alone in the woods with a gun.
